A total of 13 candidates have filed to run for mayor of San Diego so far.

The number of candidates for mayor of San Diego is rapidly growing. Two new candidates filed on Thursday Sharam Adhami, a 62-year-old auto dealer, and Sunny Enyoghwerbo, who runs a credit business, bringing the number to 13.

Councilman Carl DeMaio, District Attorney Bonnie Dumanis and Assemblyman Nathan Fletcher, R-San Diego, took out their nomination papers on Wednesday. Rep. Bob Filner, D-San Diego, has not done so, according to the city clerk's office.

Those who take out the papers need to return them by March 8 to be placed on the June 5 primary ballot.
